Abstract
In Burkina Faso, the infant flours produced are intended for weaning-age and malnourished children. This study was to evaluate the management of infant flour production in Ouagadougou. A survey was conducted among the production units to determine the raw materials used in the production of infant flours, the production processes, the methods of conservation of raw materials and infant flours, the types of infant flours produced as well as their packaging. The results showed that 45.45% of the production units surveyed were of the semi-industrial type against 54.54% from the artisanal and CREN types. Among the raw materials, the most used cereals were millet, sorghum and maize. As for legumes, peanuts and soybeans were the most used at respectively 35% and 31%. For the conservation of raw materials, 85.71% of infant flour producers had storage warehouses and 66% used storage pesticides. These flours produced were intended for children of wean age (37.14%) and children in nutritional recovery (62.86%). Flours were stored in an airy (94.29%), dry area/environment (88.57%) and in the presence of light (91.43%). All the results of this survey reflect that efforts are still expected to further improve the nutritional and sanitary quality of the infant flours produced.
